Holly always wants to play with the chalk art

I don;t always let her because it is so messy

But she asked so nicely that I gave in

She drew me this beautiful rainbow

Ice Skating Get Together

 Here we are for a quick Pizza Party after Ice Skating class.

Ice Skating Pajama Party

Here we are at Ice Skating, a super big crowd this day and a Pajama Party.  It was also super exciting because Olivia decided to get onto the ice after almost 6 months of attendance, we were super proud of her.  And all the kids did there best to line up for picture time.  We have really been enjoying Ice Skating, it is the perfect balance between structure and unstructured, learning and playing, and new friends and old.  It is also nice to hang out in the cold rink when on several occasions its like 80-90 degrees outside!

Spinning

Holly's been doing so well at Ice Skating.  She is learning her glides and on her own decided she wants to practice spinning.

Here are two videos

Ice Skating Parties and Playdates

Here we are skating a few weeks ago

After was a Birthday Party

 Then on another day Holly is convinced for a few minutes to skate with no Buckets

 She is practicing bending at the knees

 And then we have another Birthday Party

 Its fun to hang out with our new friends after skating

 Eating Pizza and Cake and playing with her friends

 On another day, after skating we went over to Olivia's house

 That too was super fun, but we ended up staying late

 and Holly got super tired on the way home.

 Olivia has an amazing view, and here the girls are on the porch saying good bye.
